The fans would not be right next to each other. The idea would be to line them up with the intake and exhaust fans on the computer. If your computer's intake fans were on the front then you would put the intake fan on the front of desk. You need to move hot air out and cold air into the enclosure. The best way to do this would be to line up the fans to take advantage of the already prescribed air flow. If that isn't an option then i'd suggest doing a simple cold air at the bottom hot air at the top air flow exchange. the big thing is you want your exhaust fans to line up.
